Tales of the Jewel

"Yes Dragon! But No not so literal I do not think. Like people who embody the nature of the creature. People of Lion are fierce and honorable and people Crab are resilient, things such as this."

"Though they do have stories of Spirits and monsters of their own like we do I believe."

Qasim nodded treading water a bit as he thought " I heard some about crafty Scorpion who lie and tempt and poison. About honorable Lions, and big strong Crabs, magical Phoenix, and Mysterious lizards or wait how you say Dragon?" He asked not sure on the uncommon word. "I am happy to share all the st...

Qasim set down his stick and leaned forward again squeezing Soraya's hand and reaching across asking for Raya's "I think, that we are three wonderful, smart, and amazing people. We can figure out the laws and who is recognized where as what but at the end of the day that's just what other people thi...

The finger drew his eyes to her lips but for just a moment as he looked up and smiled "Well, hmm something with a flame you say? Well it's an unusual request but I am used to those." He offered her his arm "Come Sayyeda let me guide you through the world of art." He said with a wide smile as the beg...

Qasim would be in step with her. She'd lost her mind if she thought he wouldn't escort her back to the palace. He wasn't a barbarian.

He says and from the warmth in his voice it couldn't be anything but true "What about you Nihira? Anyone special wait...

He leaned forward and kissed her lips softly "I understand." His arms still around her waist pulled her against him "doesn't mean I still won't miss you in the mean time." He said smiling

Qasim chuckled as well "perhaps for the best, a lot exertion like that after a big meal could upset the stomach which would be unfortunate. Though I admit I wish you were coming home with me tonight, my bed feels so much colder without you." He said nuzzling her neck

"Yes, i am sure our ways seem as strange to them as theirs do to us. Though honestly with the stories of how they live I don't believe most of them know much about how we love out here in the Sands. But none the less I'm sure they would think it odd the way the Jewel mixes people and beliefs like a...

Qasim stood with a large smile on his face his arms thrown wide in greeting "Ahhh lella Nihira! I'm glad you made time for me in your busy schedule." "Please, come join me. We have a nice spread today for a bit of a light lunch." He motioned for her to join him as he walked from the front gate thro...
